Voice Mail -Where is it Controlled?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

My mpx220 jumps to voice mail after only 1 or 2 rings. How and where can I
lengthen the time or rings before that happens.

Cingular service
mpx220

Thanks,
Wayne

Cingular is GSM, so the GSM feature codes apply. I just googled on
"setting voice mail delay on GSM" and the 7th link is

http://www.geckobeach.com/cellular [...] mcodes.asp

which looks like it has all of them. You need to know the number your
voice mail is being forwarded to, which is probably stored in the phone
somewhere, and then you can dial

*61*<voicemail number>*<seconds>#

to set forwarding if no answer after <seconds> to <voicemail number>.
There are other combinations, you may have to experiment a bit.

Dial *691*+1xxxxxxxxxx*11*tt#

Where xxxxxxxxxx is your market's VM number and tt is the time inseconds you
want the phone to ring for, the valid range is 1-30.

Just type it in and hit send/call and you should get some sort of
confirmation message.

Hi:

When I asked Cingular about this they were able to lengthen it to 30 seconds
on their end. I did not have to modify anything.
